The other day my brother passed on a chunk of his comic collection to us. He's not giving up comics, but he's moving to where he has less space to store them (and, I suppose, taking the moving opportunity to declutter a bit). The kids, of course, are delighted. And it's not as if I'm going to turn down comic books.
However, since my brother has been reading and collecting comics for nearly as long as I have, including those ten years when I'd given up on it, this greatly increases the number of comics we've got around. I don't think it doubles the total, but it's not far from that.
So I probably need to rethink the comic storage thing around here. Do I want to get more shortboxes? That's what I use now. Or should I get longboxes because there's just so much of it? Do I want to do a lot of sorting right now? (Well, that one's easy to answer--no, I do not!)
We're moving things around in the house anyway, and I had been planning on a specific place to keep all the comics, but now I need to figure out whether there'll be enough room there for everything.
It's almost-but-not-quite enough to get me to switch to trades altogether.

Oh heck, just take one of the kid's rooms. I'm SURE they won't mind doubling up!
Heh.
Sally's right, you gotta have your priorities here. I love the trades. If only they didn't skip issues.
